April 114 PAGE TWENTY THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Norwegian Factory Fired in British Raid on Lofoten Islands ,Miss Powell and New Partner, VIEW 1941 AS BANNER PERIOD SACRAMENTO. Calif, April I (UP) With wool prices In the forefront, stockmen of California txpected today to enjoy one of the most profitable years during 1941 of any during more than a decade. The federal-state crop report ing service predicts that prices offered for wool will be the high est registered since 1928, be cause of the greatly increased demand for wool for national defense needs. New price increases this sea son will follow a general! fav orable 12 months experienced by fanners and ranchers during 1940, the service declared. Dur ing 1940 the state produced record volumes of milk and tur keys and a high outturn of cat tle, lambs, wool and hogs. . The number of sheep and lambs on feed January 1, 1941 totaled 119,000 head, slightly less than in the previous Janu ary. Inventory numbers of milk cows, beef cattle and stock sheep increased, while the num bers of hogs, chickens and work stock showed moderate declines. The preliminary estimate of cash income from marketing of livestock and livestock products during 1940 was $216,000,000. The figure represented 34 per cent of the total income from all marketings during the year and was compared to $200,000,000 during 1939. Prices received by producers of cattle, calves, sheep, lambs and wool were maintained at generally satisfactory levels dur ing 1940; prices for milk and milk products averaged higher than in the previous year, while prices for hogs, chickens, eggs and turkeys remained compara tively low. At present the feed outlook in the state is extremely favorable, the crop reporting service de clared. The number of dairy cows in the state increased four per cent during last year to 701,000 head, and about two per cent more heifers are being retained for milk cows. Improved prices for milk products and an abundance of feed resulted in general feed ing and high production of milk. it was said. Estimated production of milk per cow in 1940 averaged 6730 pounds, the highest for any state. The estimated average value of milk cows increased $10 during the year to $74 each. ALL IN SAME BOAT American wheat growers are by no means alone in their ef forts to control the world wheat surplus in producing exporting countries, according to Will Steen, chairman of the state AAA committee in Oregon, who has recently received word of steps being taken in Canada, Argentina and Australia. American wheat growers will no doubt be faced with the prob lem of deciding on the adoption of wheat marketing quotas, says Steen. A tentative date for the election has been set for May 31. If, as expected, the prospective wheat supplies by May 15 are above the limit set in the law of 1938, a marketing quota election must be held. If the quota is ap proved by growers, the govern ment loans will continue, which constitutes one of America's chief methods of maintaining wheat growers' incomes while exercising a limit on production. The Argentine and Canadian governments have been protect ing their farmers by offering to buy their wheat outright, but tnis has led to difficulties. Ar gentine farmers are assured of about 55 cents a bushel and Canadian farmers of about SO cents. Both governments say now they cannot continue to buy unlimited amounts of wheat unless foreign markets re-open. Canadian growers still have much of last year's crop piled out under temporary shelters because supplies far exceed stor age capacity of the country. Australia guarantees wheat farmers a price of about 96i cents a bushel on an annual crop of not more than 140 million bushels. In return for this guar antee the growers must agree to market their wheat through the government and carry out cer tain practices designed to reduce wheat acreage. In Argentina it is estimated that nearly 200 million bushels of wheat will be available for export in 1941. Canada will have more than 700 million bushels. Both of these amounts are con siderably larger than supplies on hand a year ago. Because of drouth Australia does not have large export supplies, but even so these cannot move freely through military blockades.

Wide Diversity of Topics Taken Up By Farm Women (Editor's note: Following is the second of a series of articles on the home extension prot-. a by Winnifred Gillen, home demon stration agent.) By WINNIFRED GILLEN The home extension program for Klamath county is deter mined and organized coopera tively with the suggestions and help of three major groups. First, representatives of each of the organized extension groups in tl . county; second, the home de monstration agent; and third, the state leader and state specialists of the home economic depart ment of the Oregon State col lege extension service. The annual program planning day is held the last part of May each year and representatives of each of the organized extension groups, PTA county extension committee, and granges meet to plan the program for the follow. ing year. Recommends'., --ns of the economic outlook conference are always taken into considera tion in planning this program. Since 1938 the following foods and nutrition demc - -t rations and discussions have been pre sented at 301 meetings with 4943 women in attendance: Vegetable cookery, cookery of beef, pork. lamb, and meat sundries, food preservation by canning and by freezing, salads and salad dress ings, menu planning and table service, and "how to control your weight. Seven meetings have been held on home land scaping with 248 in attendance. These meetings were fallowed by 26 home visits to give specific help in planning a home grounds. Since recreation is one of the phases of family life which should be encouraged and which is being recognized as being very valuable, the home extension program has conducted 16 train ing meetings for leaders in recreation. They have reported conducting recreation at 495 meetings at which there was an attendance of 15,659. At the of fice of the home demonstration agent in the post office there are a number of games and plays available to use. Some of the games which are available are shuffle board, tether tennis, Top bowling, puzzles, corks, baseball darts. These are avail able to any groups at a very low rental, which helps to replace worn equipment. Last summer a home makers vacation camp was held at Lake the Woods. The purpose of this camp was to offer rest and relaxation, swimming, instruc tion in crafts, which included making of pewter trays, brace lets, belts, made of cord, and the making of name pins. Some of the newest books were sup plied by the county library and book reviews were presented by Sylvia Hopkins, one of the county librarians. John Sargin- son, district ranger, cooperated by furnishing an instructor in nature study. Mrs. Lydia How ard of the county health unit was the nurse in camp in case of any injuries or sickness. Mrs. Twyla Ferguson entertained the women with a very interesting account of her trip to South America. A great deal of en thusiasm was created by this camp and a similiar one will be held if enough women are i PORTLAND'S j distinctive hotel t 3 Oj 4 I THE DE1VS0N S Broadway at Oak BL j Interested in attending such a camp this summer. Another phase of the home making program which has brought about a great deal of; interest is that of clothing and j textiles. The meetings which have been held are garment finishes, remodeling of gar ments, safe home dry cleaning, choosing the best color and line for different types of individu als, dressmaking schools, the malting of men's ties, and a meeting on good grooming "Care of the Hair." A slip cover school held this year trained 12 leaders who have held similar schools in four communities in the county. Meetings in the extension units this month and next are, "Meeting Health Emergencies In the Home," at which there has been a well equipped home medicine cabinet exhibited and a discussion of how to take care of different health emergencies which arise at home. In some of the units there will be a second demonstration on good grooming "Care of The Feet." Any home maker who is interested is wel come to attend any of these meetings. Governor's Son Held by Police HOLLYWOOD, April 3 (AP) Richard Olson, 33, eldest son of the governor, was arrested Wednesday and booked at Holly wood station on suspicion of driving an automobile without the owner's consent. He had $4494.41 in his pockets. Capt. D. R. Patton, in charge of the detective bureau, said the governor had called him and asked that his son be taken to a doctor.

ASHLAND AIRPORT ASHLAND, April 3 (If) A survey of suitable property was in progress today after the Ash land city council approved a state aeronautics board sugges tion that the city supply a site for a class B defense airport. Ashland was among nine cities approved for such airports and the field would cost about $150,- 000, Leo G. Devaney, state aer onautics board director said. V J arnlll inner - - - , - hit of the yearl Recognition ot the priority of agriculture In securing labor for the national defense program was urged on national and state officials today in resolutions ap proved by the agricultural com mittee of the state advisory council of the Oregon state em ployment service. In anticipation of a shortage of farm workers because of the rising tempo of defense Indus tries, the committee, which rep resents principal growers' asso ciations all over Oregon, also asked that CCC workers and those enrolled for rural training in vocational schools be called upon In seasonal harvest emerg encies. The resolution requests the national defense commission to "place the activities of harvest ing of crops in the same category as the labor requirements in In dustry so that during emergency periods workers will not be di verted from the harvesting to certain defense projects." Copies of the resolutions were signed by E. C. Zieglcr of the Hood River Apple Growers asso ciation, chairman ot the commit tee, William Bowes of Portland, chairman of the advisory coun cil, and L. "C. Stoll, secretary. They will be sent to President Roosevelt, Gov. Sprague, mem bers of the national defense council, Oregon's senators and other national and state officials. Approval of the Tolan com mittee's investigation and report on migratory labor was given In another resolution, which also favors passage of house resolu tion 3372, which would extend the committee's jurisdiction to cover construction Industries and the defense program. The resolution asks that the Tolan committee be extended for at least two years, commending its efforts to stamp out indiscrimin ate advertising by private em ployment agencies in distant states. , In another resolution the agri cultural committee recommend ed that its members be desig nated as a sub-committee of the U. S. department of agriculture on farm labor problems so as to prevent duplication of effort Chairman Zeigler called atten tion to cooperation of federal and state agencies in furnishing additional personnel for tempor ary employment offices and mo bile labor camps. He announced that several additional camps would be established in Oregon this summer, mainly as a result of the committee's sustained ef forts. Both mobile and sub-mobile units will be established at Nyssa, Athena and Gresham, while mobile units will be at Stayton, Merrill, Tulelake, Inde pendence, Grants Pass and pos sibly other points. Committee members present included Harold Barnett of Pen dleton, president of Athena Pea Growers' association; J. J.

S. forest service this week issued a use permit to Moise Penning, manager of the Valley hotel, who will take over Rocky Point resort on Upper Klamath lake. Penning suited Wednesday he would open the resort April 12 and in the meantime new equip ment was being Installed includ ing a fleet ot new boats. The resort has been in operation for the past 25 years, and last year the forest service acquired Rocky Point from the California Oregon Power company. Many years ago Rocky Point was one of the most fashionable resorts in southern Oregon and boatloads of holiday seekers were taken from Klamath Falls across the lake before the roads were improved. Penning will operate Rocky Point in addition to his work in Klamath Falls but stated Nets Nelson, old time employe of Copco, would be located at the resort. Rocky Point will especi ally cater to fishing and duck hunting parties, Penning stated. Dipsomania Is a morbid, un controllable craving for alco holic beverages.
